Book Swap

Informal End-of-Year funtimesinthevillage Book Swap

(back to mama)

Naomi Kaye made a Facebook event for a book swap and I thought I'd crosspost it here so these readers can offer their books too. Coordinating the two pages will be a bit of a challenge but pretty worth it, I think.

Here's what she wrote:

"hello all!
i was thinking to myself, i am going to def want some quality lit to read on my plane ride home for break. or even just over break, period.
Therefore i propose an informal book swap. You can swap novels, books you read for class, whatever. Here's how I see this working: on this event's wall, post your books up for swap. If you see a book up for swap that looks interesting, just contact the person directly! this way, we can exchange books we won't necessarily read or need anymore for books we would like. enjoy!"

So you can either post your books here or there--we'll crosspost all the offerings either way.

Happy reading.

    Also:

    I don't really want to swap books right now but I have 100-200 books I could lend out over break, including lots of foreign language textbooks & random merriment.

The standard comment is anonymous, the exception has a name.

To identify yourself without having an account, choose Name/URL. You can leave out the URL. Sometimes it's nice to use a pseudonym instead of being totally anonymous--that way you can say multiple things as the same person or character.

If you want to be reachable privately without revealing your identity to the group, make yourself a throwaway email account. It takes five minutes. You can link to it if you use the Name/URL option.

If you're signed into your Blogger/Google account and want to be anonymous, make sure to change the Comment as option. It'll identify you by default.

Some formatting tips:
<b>bold</b>
<i>italics</i>
<a href="url">link</a>
